Weird catepillar glitch:
To do this glitch you need to go to the first forest stage, after you beat the fourth fortress. First make sure you have a cape to do this. Beat the stage once and then go back in and goto the halfway point; where the bar is. After that goto the part where enemies break out of their blocks. Now stomp on the turtles but dont stomp on the empty shells, stomp on goomba's only when they can walk, in the mean time stomp on the caterpillars, keep this up until you start getting 1ups from doing this. After a while you'll see it glitching, I managed to get a 5up out of this and also, over 200 coins per yellow caterpillar they also give out tons of points for this. I've gotten over half a million points per yellow caterpillar this way.
Yoshi cloud glitch
You can see a bug on any stage that has a sloping cloud that you can slide down. What you do is; hold down the Y button and the down button as you slide down, now press left or right while going down the slope. You can even make yoshi slide backwards this way.
Sometimes when I have Yoshi eat Wigglers Mario gets hurt/killed.
The star road in bowsers world has a secret path that leads to the castle, allowing you to finish the game in 12 min. or less. The only glitch you need, really.
it's not a glitch.
And if you beat the boo house on Doughnut island the secret way you unlock a level that gets you either a fireflower or a cape and a yoshi. if you take the yoshi and come back and hit the block you got yoshi from a 1-up will come out. keep doing this to get an huge supply of 1-ups.
While "secret" is in it's name, that level is required to get 96Star full completion. So it's not as secret as it should be... That method is also slow for collecting 1-ups.
Multi-Eating
While it is minor, if when riding yoshi you come across any colour fruit, you can eat it by simply getting Yoshi's mouth to it. But if you lick the fruit before (no, actually right when) Yoshi automatically eats it, either you eat the fruit and a duplicate is left behind (and it doesn't move around either, stays still) or you eat the original and the duplicate at the same time getting 2 coins. The duplicate is always red, even if you use the trick on the green ones.
Similarily, if you approch a spiny and yoshi's mouth is really close to touching it, lick and eat a section. If you are close enough, Yoshi starts to gobble up all the other sections automatically (except the head).
Flying Yoshi?
Quite difficult to pull off, but when you have a cape with Yoshi, try taking off. Then jump off Yoshi holding Y, then then as you fall down, get back on Yoshi as it falls and you will start floating with that "BLIMP" noise. I think it's almost the same as floating with just the cape, but it's hard to control.
P-Switch Recovery
Yoshi again! Step on a blue or grey P Switch then eat it before it dissapears and spit it back out. The switch is returned as though you never pushed it. You can use this little trick to say... get all the coins in the Yellow Switch Place.
I thought this was a glitch thread. Getting extra lives and the Star Road shortcut are glitches? >_>
Why would you need lives in the beginning?
So you have them for the rest of the game?
You lose them after you save and load again.
This is Super Mario World we're talking about. You can beat, like, the first three worlds in an hour.
And then you're at world 4, Illusion Forest.
World 4 is the Twin Bridges. >_>
Either way, you really shouldn't need any extra lives until world six. I usually end up making more lives than I lose before that.
Eh, it really depends on the player's skill. Some sucky 4-year old would start experiencing trouble long before more experienced players, and thus need extra lives earlier.
And lol @ deletion. :)
I don't think it's a glitch. I think they put a path to the end in the begining on purpose. They did it in Super Mario Bros.
Not a glitch. Star road leads to bowsers castle, that's the only way i know th egame can be beaten between 12 - 13 minutes.
Well most of these glitches I've encounterd but Are there one's which give you more life.
What happens when the area withe the Groovy & Radical levels are compleated?
thats not a glitch, you just get to fight a new batch of enemies.
